José João fired up for Benfica youth visit: "It'll be a passionate match" | OneFootball

In the preview of the match against Benfica, related to the 6th round of the championship qualification, José João, coach of FC Porto’s youth team, assured that the team will enter with ambition and determination to win the three points. “The team is motivated and, above all, focused on what it needs to do. We face the opponent with respect and we really want to play this match. These are the games that make us grow and make us want to be part of this sport. It’s going to be a very interesting, passionate game and we’re going to want to play it in the best way possible,” emphasized the coach.

Leading the final phase of the youth championship, he aims to extend the lead at the top, prolonging the sequence of positive results. The Dragons’ manager also highlighted the importance of promoting “the culture of the Porto family”: “We haven’t lost a game in a long time, but the most important thing is that we are increasingly identified with our idea and our process. More and more we feel like a team, we look at our group as a whole and everyone wants to be part of the same goal. Everyone wants to be part of the success, those who play and those who don’t. For me, that has been the most important thing, fostering the culture of the Porto family within the group. That’s why we’ve been playing good games and getting good results. We’re coming from a very tough match in Alverca, a very important victory, and we believe we can get three more points and remain unbeaten.”

Tcherno Jamanca, FC Porto forward, praised the opponent and shared the confidence shown by the coach. “We’re really hungry, of course. Benfica is a very strong team, but at home we feel even more eager to win. We work every week and we feel very confident,” he assured.
